Mercury: our closest neighbor on average
Scientists from NASA and the U.S. Army’s Engineering Research and Development Center have upended traditional understanding of planetary proximities. Using the innovative “point-circle method,” researchers have calculated average distances between planets over time rather than simply measuring closest approach points. Their findings revealed something unexpected: Mercury is, on average, closer to Earth than either Venus or Mars.
This discovery stems from Mercury’s rapid orbit around the Sun. Despite appearing distant at times, Mercury’s swift revolution means it spends more time on the same side of the solar system as Earth than other planets do. This proximity pattern remained hidden until researchers applied more sophisticated measurement techniques that account for orbital dynamics over extended periods.
The implications extend far beyond Mercury’s relationship with Earth. The research indicates that Mercury is actually the closest neighbor, on average, to every planet in our solar system—even distant Neptune. This perspective fundamentally reshapes how we conceptualize spatial relationships in our cosmic neighborhood and could influence future interplanetary exploration missions.

There is a very good chance that this survey will find it, and, even if not, will firm up the evidence that it exists,” Brown says.The search is surprisingly difficult, considering we’ve found more than 5,800 planets around other stars.
“Personally, I feel it is unacceptable that we do not even fully understand our solar system, while 100 billion planetary systems are in our Milky Way galaxy alone, and 100 billion such galaxies in the universe,” Phan says. “It is my belief that before we try to understand stars, galaxies, or the universe, we must first come to understand our own home: the solar system.” For now, astronomers will continue searching for clues hidden in the dark outskirts of our solar system. To some, it’s not a question of if they’ll find Planet Nine but when. “The solar system makes no sense without it,” Brown says

A new study, however, identifies a possible candidate. A separate team of astronomers compared 1983 data from the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) with 2006 data from Japan’s AKARI mission in search of faint sources that moved slightly over the intervening 23 years — the kind of slow motion you’d expect from a massive, faraway planet.
“Observing in the far-infrared is advantageous because a distant planet would be extremely faint at optical wavelengths but may emit detectable thermal radiation in the infrared,” says Terry Long Phan, an astronomy graduate student at National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, who led the study. By eliminating stationary objects and any pairs that moved too much or too little to be the theorized world, they winnowed down from 2 million objects to just 13 possible pairs. “Most of these turned out to be false positives, typically caused by high background noise or potential stationary sources that were not detected but present in the image,” Phan says. “However, we identified promising one candidate that is consistent with the expected properties of Planet Nine.”

Risk of a star destroying our solar system is higher than expected Stars that pass close to the solar system could pull planets out of alignment, sending them hurtling into the sun or out into space. Stars whizzing by our solar system could cause more havoc than astronomers previously thought, from sending Pluto’s orbit haywire to forcing Mercury to fly into the sun – or even catastrophically altering Earth’s orbit and climate. The overall risk of these events is still low, but the greater influence of passing stars means that events like these might be commonplace in other planetary systems.

Scientists have managed to teleport light. Thks to a quantum property called entanglement, it’s possible to copy their info to another place. This same process could, in theory, be used to communicate across galaxies, opening door to a kind of interstellar messaging system. It might sound like pure science fiction… but it’s already happening. What’s this about teleporting light?. When scientists talk about teleporting light, they’re not referring to beaming objects space to space, like in sci-fi movie, they’re talking about is quantum teleportation, works in a different way, process transfers state of light particle (a photon) from one place to another, all happens throughquantum entanglement, a connection between particles lets them share info instantly, no matter how far apart they are. What is quantum entanglement?. Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where 2-particles become so deeply connected that the state of one directly influences the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them. For example, if you change something in a particle on Earth, other particle, even if it’s in another galaxy, “knows” about it immediately & reacts.
Albert Einstein himself was aware of this phenomenon, dubbed it”spooky action at a distance” b'cos it defied physics logic (wasn’t only prediction Einstein made since been proven correct). This weird entanglement between particles allows for quantum teleportation of light. The important thing is implications, finding, could quite literally change the nature of communication, maybe changing our understanding of space, time & info.
Why this breakthrough could rewrite the future of communication...

These discoveries reveal not just the planet’s past but also suggest how the surface of the planet may continue to change in the future.
A birth of new ocean is slowly emerging in African continent.
Under Ethiopia’s desert, a radical transformation is taking place. In 2005, a gigantic 35-mile-long crack opened like a gash in the Ethiopian desert. Thus began East African Rift, a geological process in which the continent is slowly being torn in two. This opening, a rift that runs through Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, is being created by the very slow movement of one tectonic plate, the Somali plate, away from another, the larger Nubian plate. Scientists believe that in about 5 to 10 million years the split will be complete, leading to a new ocean.
Researchers found nearly one million huge eggs every 20 inches long beside an ancient submerged volcano. The large collection of eggs has excited scientists as they unravel marine life secrets. Scientists are excited about discovering these eggs since they match no known deep-sea species. Marine biologists searching an old underwater volcano made this important discovery. Using underwater robots, the research team detected thousands of very large eggs concentrated near the volcanic area. Scientists experienced a surprising reaction when they found such large eggs beneath the ocean surface. Scientists located the eggs near a thermal volcano zone, which offers an uncommon marine life habitat. The minerals and heat from the underwater volcano build a perfect living space that draws various creatures to make their home. Scientists continue to study these vast eggs since they make this unique habitat even more difficult to understand.
Specialists have no clear answer about the animal that formed these items, scientific investigation into these eggs has most puzzling factor: they cannot identify their owner yet, do not know which ocean animals made these extreme eggs because no such species exists in their records. The eggs appear unusual because they belong to an unknown species that could be a huge marine reptile or large fish.
Our knowledge about marine animals will change thanks to this new discovery. Scientists test genetic patterns to determine which animal created these unusual eggs. The early findings show that these eggs belong to an animal species that thrives in a challenging environment close to the oceanic volcano. The eggs reach 20 inches in size and are longer than any previously found marine eggs. By studying this discovery, scientists may see a new marine species and show us how marine life changes. Researchers find the discovery of giant eggs highly important in many aspects. The new find shows that the oceans host astonishing life forms, and experts must keep investigating them. The oceans contain many unknown animal species that scientists see in their untouched discovery areas. The eggs found in deep sea geothermal activity regions prove that researchers have many unknown findings ahead findings reveal essential details about the reproduction methods of ocean creatures. The creature lays only a few big eggs because it devotes much energy to creating offspring that can better handle the damaging volcano surroundings. Understanding these findings strengthens scientific research on the reproductive strategies of marine species.
What comes next? Scientists intend to explore underground areas further in their research project, followed up on an important find when they located almost one million giant eggs near a sea volcano & intend to organize new trips to research eggs, explore environment thoroughly. The eggs reach 20 inches in size and are longer than any previously found marine eggs. Further missions will include getting more specimens, studying their genes, & monitoring egg growth.
Scientists want to explore the overall features of the marine ecosystem maintained by the active underwater volcano. The underground heat from the volcano creates rare living spaces for wildlife that need testing. Scientific analysis of this unique habitat helps researchers study how animals exist within their environment while learning about the influence of geothermal energy on marine diversity. A historic scientific finding shows several hundred thousand giant eggs around an underwater volcano. The new find shows the oceans host astonishing life forms and experts need to keep investigating. Scientists will keep learning about how marine life succeeds in different forms when they examine the unusual eggs further. This discovery shows us that Earth has many undiscovered areas where science continues to make new discoveries. Examining distant natural settings will increase scientific knowledge about Earth’s living organisms.

Laser Precision: “Like Hitting a Hair from 6 Miles Away”. The successful laser targeting achieved by China’s DSEL team is nothing short of a technological marvel. The precision required for this operation was likened to “hitting a single hair from 6.2 miles away”, a testament to the extraordinary accuracy needed to lock onto a fast-moving satellite in the challenging environment of cislunar space. By achieving this level of precision, China has not only demonstrated its technological capabilities but also ensured that it can gather orbital data whenever the satellite is in view. This breakthrough effectively multiplies the number of usable data points, significantly enhancing positional accuracy for future missions.
Tiandu-1 satellite, launched in March 2024 as part of a trio, is integral to China’s ambitious Queqiao relay constellation planned Earth-Moon communication & navigation network is designed to support an array of future lunar activities, including landers, rovers, & potentially crewed missions b4 the end of the decade. Success of this laser targeting experiment underscores the robustness of the architecture will support these upcoming missions, marking a significant step toward sustainable lunar exploration.
A New Era in Lunar Communication Autonomy.
By enabling laser ranging in daylight, China has removed a major obstacle in Earth-Moon tracking. This capability is essential for autonomous spacecraft operations, providing high-precision landing guidance and facilitating the real-time coordination of rover fleets on the Moon’s surface. The technology is poised to play a central role in approach, descent, and landing systems for future missions, particularly those targeting the lunar south pole.
